Drop the literal version default from the build files (backend Dockerfile both
stages, loadtest Dockerfile, the compose build-arg) so the release tag is not
duplicated as a stale-prone default a newcomer can't tell from the real source.
DICT_VERSION is now required: compose uses ${DICT_VERSION:?…} and the Dockerfiles
have no ARG default, so a missing value fails loudly instead of baking a stale tag.
The tag lives only in its genuine sources — ci.yaml env (CI tests), the Gitea
TEST_/PROD_DICT_VERSION variables (deploy seed) and deploy/.env.example (local).
Adds a "Bumping the dictionary version" section to deploy/README and fixes the bare
docker-build examples (CLAUDE.md, README.md, loadtest/README) to pass --build-arg.
Bump DICT_VERSION v1.2.1 -> v1.3.0 across the seed surface: .env.example, the
compose build-arg default, both backend Dockerfile stages, the loadtest
Dockerfile, the CI dawg-download version, and the deploy/backend docs.
v1.3.0 drops the abbreviation class from the Russian word list (scrabble-dictionary
#6). This only seeds a FRESH volume; a live contour/prod volume is unaffected (the
.seed_version marker wins — seed-drift guard) and moves to v1.3.0 through the admin
console (ARCHITECTURE §5). Per-contour deploy still overrides via TEST_/PROD_DICT_VERSION.
Top-aligning it still read a touch low; move the empty-blank star up
(top 8% -> 0.5%) so its ink centres against the rack letters' block,
matching the board tile's centred mark. Size unchanged.
Rack: the empty-blank star is now top-anchored level with the letters and a
touch larger (was centred, sitting low). Board and Stats best-move tiles: the
placed-blank star's ink is centred on the value digits' line (was slightly
high). CSS-only nudges; pixel offsets measured against the rendered glyphs.
The Erudit variant's blank is the "звёздочка", so render it with a star.
An empty rack blank (and its drag ghost) shows ✻ centred; a placed blank
keeps its designated letter and carries ✻ where the (absent) point value
sits — on the board and in the Stats best-move tiles. The Scrabble variants
are unchanged. Gated by usesStarBlank() in lib/variants.ts.
